After the floor was broken open due to the leakage of the floor heating pipe, I discovered this German secret

On a night with the north wind howling, the floor heating in Mr. Zhang's house suddenly leaked, and it was only after prying open the floor that it was found that the inner wall of the pipe was full of cracks. And the floor heating installed by Ms. Li, the neighbor, the same year, is still as warm as spring - the difference lies in the "origin" of a pipe. Today, let's reveal why the Luoyang imported Watts floor heating pipe can become the invisible champion of high-end home decoration.

Compared with traditional floor heating pipes, the most prominent feature of Watts floor heating pipe is the three-layer oxygen barrier structure:

• EVOH oxygen barrier layer, with an oxygen barrier rate 200% higher than the national standard
• High-molecular cross-linked polyethylene inner wall, can withstand 90℃ high temperature without deformation
• Antibacterial coating certified by Germany to inhibit the growth of legionella

The measured data by the technicians of Zhongshitong shows that under extreme conditions of 80℃/2.5MPa, its service life can still reach more than 50 years, far exceeding the 15-year standard of ordinary pipes.

Ms. Li initially thought it was not cost-effective to pay 30 yuan more per meter until she saw this comparison table:

• Maintenance cost: The average annual loss of ordinary pipes is about 2%, while that of Watts pipes is only 0.3%
• Energy consumption difference: The oxygen barrier structure saves about 800 yuan in gas fees every year
• Insurance discount: Some companies exempt 15% of the insurance premium for imported pipes

"In fact, it has recovered the cost in three years." Mr. Zhang finally calculated this account after the repair.

There arefakes on the market under the banner of "imported". Here are some tips:

• The laser-engraved number on the pipe body can be verified on the official website
• The true product has no "white mark" phenomenon when bent
• The cut section presents a uniform matte texture

It is recommended that consumers obtain the original customs declaration form through formal channels such as Zhongshitong for inspection to avoid buying fake foreign goods that have "traveled abroad for one day".

Choosing a floor heating pipe is like choosing the "blood vessel" of a house. Instead of breaking the wall for repair in the future, it is better to ask one more question now: "Is it Watts original pipe?"
